PROVIDENCE, RI (WLNE) — A Providence man was sentenced Nov. 1 after being convicted of shot a man in the leg during an attempted robberyaccording to the office of Attorney General Peter F. Neronha.

Jashua Adames Torres, 24, will serve 13 years in ACI followed by 22 years of probation after a hearing in Providence County Superior Court.

Torres was found guilty of a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of discharging a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, one count of carrying a handgun without a permit and one count of shooting in a compacted area.

The incident occurred on July 23, 2022, when Providence Police responded to a call on Hartford Avenue at approximately 4:36 am.

Arriving officers found a 32-year-old male victim bleeding profusely from the leg and a tourniquet was applied before he was transported to Rhode Island Hospital.
